What kind of surgeries does Saskatchewan have to offer?

I just want to know whats going on in Saskatchewan. Hopeing Manitoba well get with the program soon.


Talk to you soon Stephanie

Hi Steph.

Currently, Saskatchewan has a Bariatric Surgical Assessment Clinic with a Multi-Disciplinary Team of Specialists to determine eligibility for Weight Loss Surgery in Saskatchewan.

The Surgery currently being offered is the Roux-n-Y, and that is currently all.

Dr. Brian Colquhoun and Dr. Gary Groot of Saskatoon had been performing the Duodenal Switch Surgery up until Dr. Colquhoun's retirement due to health reasons in 2006.

Yes I did try to see Dr. Colqhoun, but he had gotten sick before I could see him. I am from Manitoba and there is no bariaric help here what so ever. I have a referral to see Dr. Savoie in Bathurts New Brunswick. I am wanting to have the DS surgery. I wish all of the provinces would get on board and start getting bariatric surgeons and clinics opened across Canada.


Thanks for your reply Stephanie
